85 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
86 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
87 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
88 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
89 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

120 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
121 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

239 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
240 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

242 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
243 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1569 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1570 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1571 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1572 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1573 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1574 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1575 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1576 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1577 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1578 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1579 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1580 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1581 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1582 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1583 other minor changes.
1584 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1585 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1586 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1587 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1588 course there's -X ..)
1589 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1590 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1591 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1593 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1594 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1595 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1596 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1597 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1672 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1674 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1675 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1676 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1677 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1678 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1679 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1680 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1681 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1682 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1683 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1684 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1685 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1686 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1687 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1688 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1689 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1691 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1726 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1727 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1728 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1729 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1730 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1731 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1732 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1733 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2092 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2093 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2094 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2095 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2096 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2097 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2154 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2155 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2156 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2157 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2158 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2160 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2161 but is mildly deprecated.
2162 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2163 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2164 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2165 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2166 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2167 switching to statoverrides..
2168 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2169 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2170 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2171 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2172 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2173 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2175 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2176 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2177 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2178 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2179 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2180 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2181 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2182 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2183 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2185 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2186 variable names, pod man pages).
2187 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2188 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2189 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2190 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2191 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2192 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2193 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2359 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2361 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2362 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2364 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2365 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2366 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2609 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2610 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2611 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2612 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2613 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2614 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2615 notice until v2 is complete.
2616 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2617 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2618 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2619 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2620 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2621 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2623 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2624 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2625 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2837 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2838 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2839 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2840 bits until all files have been registered.

2979 I made some changes, though:
2980 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2981 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2982 that is a clear violation of policy.
2983 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2984 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2985 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2986 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2987 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2988 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2989 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2990 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2991 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2993 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3156 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3157 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3158 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3159 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3160 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3161 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3162 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3163 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3164 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3165 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3166 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3167 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3168 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3174 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3175 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3176 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3178 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3179 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3180 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3181 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3182 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3183 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4072 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

4087 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4088 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4089 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4090 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

4097 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4098 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4099 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4100 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4101 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4115 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4116 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4117 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4118 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4119 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4120 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4121 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4122 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4158 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4159 sections of shared libraries.

4161 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4162 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4163 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4164 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4165 things you don't want them to.

4228 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4229 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4230 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4304 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4305 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4306 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4493 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4494 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4495 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4496 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4497 would do in the same situation.

4837 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4838 a given package, or -i or -a.
4839 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4840 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5056 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5058 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5059 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5060 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5061 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5062 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5066 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5068 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5069 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5070 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5071 multiple binary packages.
5072 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5073 should rebuild them with this version.
5074 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5078 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

5085 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5092 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5094 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5095 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5096 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5097 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5098 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5099 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5100 debian/README.debian.
5101 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5102 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5103 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5104 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5105 in a few situations.)

5109 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5111 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5115 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5128 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5130 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5131 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5132 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5136 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5138 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5139 is ready for general use.
5140 * Added man pages for all commands.
5141 * Multiple binary package support.
5142 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5143 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5144 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5146 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5147 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5148 auto-installed as parameters.
5149 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5151 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5154 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5155 the package build directory it is to act on.
5156 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5157 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5158 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
